"You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.""
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And ye shall dwell with us,..... Peaceably and quietly, not as sojourners only, but as inhabitants: and the land shall be before you; to choose what part of it they
pleased to dwell in, and which they should have in their own power and possession: dwell and trade you therein; in any sort of traffic and commerce the land would admit of, and they should best choose: and get you possessions therein; buy houses and land, and enjoy them, they and their posterity; these are the arguments used by Hamor to gain the consent of Jacob and his family that his son might marry Dinah; and the proposals are honourable and generous.
